From the reviews: "Rigid Flexibility presents a new theory of cognition. As such it is devoted to the general research for Artificial Intelligence (AI), in contrast to a focus of other AI research that is focusing on solving specific reasoning problems such as planning or learning for example. . The review of the principles and assumptions underlying the various streams of AI research make this book very interesting to read and enable the reader to easily compare the presented theory with other existing approaches."
